Supernova neutrinos

Supernova neutrinos are few-tens-of-MeV neutrinos of all flavors emitted when a massive star's core collapses, carrying away about 99 percent of the released binding energy.

Supernova nucleosynthesis

Supernova nucleosynthesis is the creation of chemical elements during supernova explosions, via thermonuclear burning, neutron capture, and neutrino reactions; its channels include Type Ia and core-collapse supernovae, which forge iron-peak and heavier elements like gold.
